 The '''Henderson" Lmon Grass Seed was used on 

 the Wo!-ld's Fair grounds, and it affords me pleasure 

 to say that the quality of the seed was first-class in every 

 respect, forming lawns ?apidly which stood the droughts 

 of the past summer, making a thick sod, and is fiiore 

 durable than any other %ue have used.

THE " Henderson " Lawn Grass Seed is the best lawn seed for our American climate, and is composed of various 

 grasses that grow and flourish during different months of the year, so that a deep rich green, velvety lawn is constacitly 

 maintained. The "Henderson" Lawn Seed is the result of several years careful experimenting, and is unequaled. 

 It is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because while the lawn grass mixtures of other seedsmen will not 

 average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, the " Henderson" Lawn Seed will weigh from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. 



Of all ihe charming features which contributed to the grandeur of the World's Columbian Exposition, not one was so 

 universally ad.nired as were the beautiful lawns sown with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass. In that great "White City" 

 the velvety lawns were the subject of more flattering encomiums than any single one of the magnificent sights. Where possible, 

 the lawns were sown in the fall of lSg2, but in most instances it was necessary to wait until spring, and several of them were not 

 sown until April, just a few days before the opening of the Fair, yet within six weeks from time of sowing, the ground was 

 transformed into velvety law7is, which, notwithstanding the long-continued drought of the summer, retained their verdure 

 throughout the entire season. The quantity required for making new lawns is 5 bushels per acre, or for renovating old lawns, 

 I to 2 bushels. For a plot 15x20, or 300 square feet, l quart is required for new, or I pint for renovating old lawns. Price, 

 25c. per quart, $1.50 per peck, $5.00 per bushel. If 6y mail, add at the rate of ^c. per quart for postage.

 grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, railroad embank-

 g:reen turf throughout the season. Price, 35c. per quart, 

 $2.00 per peck, $7.00 per bushel. If by jnail, add at the 

 rate of ^c. per qicart for t>ostage.
